It has been staffs goal to construct 3' or 4' paved shoulders on all County Arterial and Collector paved roadways where sufficient right-of-way exists. The paved shoulders provide for better roadway maintenance (eliminating edge of pavement drop-offs and build- up) and provide a paved surface for bicycle traffic. This year, $470,000 is available for road widening and resurfacing in Account #111-214-541-035.31 and 035.34.
